Going F'in Nuts

Hi,

I have tested many many times (26 times) negative (out to nearly two years) after sex with a pro.

Just recently my wife got a primary genital Herpes outbreak that has now gone but has been replaced by inflamed gums.

So now I'm thinking HIV again. This is doing my head in man.

You think there's is some strain out there that can't be picked up on a test ?
You think some people don't produce antibodies ?

any advice ?

Also, everyone produces antibodies, otherwise you would not be able to fight off even the smallest infection.

3 months testing is considered conclusive...you have been way overtested, but nevertheless it proves without a doubt you did not get HIV from this exposure.  Modern day tests are very sensitive and most will pick up HIV 1 and 2 along with their subtypes. If you haven't had any other exposures then HIV is not your problem.
